If you were to strip the DRM protection from any purchased media, you can use it wherever you like. This is where the DRM debacle comes into play. This is unfair, because you paid the full price for the content, so you should be free to use it as you see fit. Now, technically, Apple does this to discourage piracy and ensure that only the user that purchased/rented the content can actually use it and not others, but this also prevents content from being played on non-Apple devices. Apple notably does this with everything purchased from the iTunes Store, be it music, books, movies, TV shows and whatnot. DRM, or Digital Rights Management, is a technique that certain vendors employ to restrict the platforms and methods in which media purchased from them can be used.
